Spring 2023 - Professor Ariel was a super organized on canvas but helpful during class. The class was fun to engage in the daily conversations and the material for this class was interesting concerning the intersections of athletic competition and disability. We had several group projects and group discussions concerning a range of sources including readings, film, TV, and biographical writings, addressing sports, the body and disability generally. This class was fun and taken for my Gender Studies major. I am happy I took this course. NO EXAMS NO ESSAYS DAILY CANVAS DISCUSSIONS.
